## Summary

Nottingham City Council commissioned consultancy to assess the need for supported housing and develop a supported housing strategy, following the assessment. The work is to be carried out in line with the project specification and government statutory guidance, and is intended to inform the Council’s approach to supported housing. This is business and management consultancy work, delivered for Nottingham City Council in Nottingham, England. The requirement covers both the needs assessment and the subsequent strategy development, rather than housing provision or the delivery of supported accommodation itself.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to PPL on 26 June 2026. The award value is £70,000. The contract period runs from 13 July 2026 to 28 February 2027. The Council used an open procedure below the applicable threshold. The original response deadline was 26 June 2026 at 12 noon. The requirement was advertised as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published procurement information describes the work as consultancy for a supported housing needs assessment and strategy, undertaken against the specification and statutory guidance; it does not set out a separate scored evaluation formula or detailed selection thresholds.

For consultancies competing for similar work with Nottingham City Council, this award demonstrates demand for specialist advice that combines analysis of supported housing need with practical strategy development. A credible competitor would need to interpret the relevant government statutory guidance, assess local need, and turn findings into a supported housing strategy aligned with the Council’s requirements. The project is consultancy rather than the provision or operation of housing, so relevant strengths lie in research, policy analysis and strategy work. The award to PPL, an SME, also shows that a smaller supplier was selected for this requirement. Experience producing evidence-based assessments and usable strategies for local authorities would be directly relevant when competing for this buyer’s comparable requirement in future.»

## Notice

Nottingham City Council hereafter 'the Council') is seeking quotations from sufficiently experienced and qualified suppliers for the provision of Consultancy Services to deliver a Supported Housing Needs Assessment and the subsequent development of a Supported Housing Strategy as set out in the specification and Government statutory guidance.
